 The main problem seems to be is that if the enlarged Bargainer takes any 
 wounds as a Goliath, he's pretty much "stuck" in that form.  Since the 
 wounds theoretically become much more dangerous if he reverts back to his 
 normal Size 5.

   One other way to deal with this (though it may require a trick) is to use 
it like the Covenant Strength power which has any extra damage (ie over the 
normal Strength) disappear when they changed back.  But if they got to strong 
they would take 1 level of massive damage when they changed back.
   If you want them stuck in the large form then there is no problem, but if 
you don't want to stick them to badly then let the extra damage disappear 
except for 1 level or so.
